[QUOTE="AwashBwashCwash, post: 3641156, member: 73305"] So then give a healthy raise when a part-timer makes it past probation. And I don't want to hear :censored: about part-timer jobs being "extremely easy." Get your ass in the trailer and say that. My back hurts every :censored:ing day, it's very strenuous labor, and the work conditions suck. I've had :censored: fall on my head, stuff fall onto my knees off the belt, I've slipped and tripped over things, I've seen guys pass out from the heat. $10 an hour for the labor they are asking is robbery. It's always the same attitude "Well you're part-time, so eat :censored: and die haha." Is it simple? Sure. Is it easy? No. Especially when you are constantly understaffed because most guys are smart enough to not do this crap for poverty wages. News flash, what the drivers do aint rocket science either. And I'm not even saying we should make as much as drivers. Drivers SHOULD make more than us. They work more hours, their job entails more responsibility, and they are the face of UPS. But the current wage gap between us and them right now is outrageous. When people find out I work at UPS and I tell them what I make, they are usually shocked and say something along the lines of "Wow I always thought that was supposed to be a good job??" [/QUOTE]
